Hey Dustin, have you heard of the Holy Stone 720E? It`s one you haven`t reviewed and if you contact them, they will send you one to test out. Love your videos btw!!!
I like your range test on different types of drones your content is A1 keep up the good work and keep the videos coming I'm always impressed on how you push those drones to the limit no other content creators does it like you. Well done Dustin. 👍🏾
It's awesome that you actually made it out to 8.5km. That's what it says on the box so I'm impressed that it actually made it that far. Just had a big firware update for the follow modes, going to check them out finally. I've already got this drone and I'm already more than happy with it, but it was cool to see it fly out that far. Thanks for that! I'm being super conservative with mine, I don't run mine lower than 10% because I hope to be using this drone for years to come.
As always bad ass brother Dustin, it’s amazing how you can be so calm and cool while shooting the video & all of US are back here in RUclips land are positively freaking out when your Fimi gets below 10%. Hell I don’t even smoke and I think I need a cigarette afterwords...
If you are not the official Fomi tester, you should apply. You have taken an unbelievable risk, I was watching the video and my heart was racing. I congratulate you friend, very good job! A hug from Spain!
It's like watching a movie - at the beginning it feels calm and relaxed, then the drama happens and it tickles nerves, then the happy ending.👏👏👏 I hope you can reach that ocean one day.
Awesome range test once again. Seriously impressed on the range. Can't imagine how nerve-racking not knowing for sure if it was returning home or just hovering on the signal drop out while on its way back.
That was awesome RTH was pretty accurate from such a long range, the fact it will go below 0% battery life just give you that extra comfort of getting it home, brilliant 🎮👍👍
Brilliant range test Dustin. Oh I was on the edge of my seat lol. What an awesome performer the FIMI X8SE! I'm looking forward to the next test. Thanks and keep well. :)
This is how a RTH should work. The incoming video feed was shut of intentionally to save battery power, I’m guessing. I’m just glad others take these risks. Lol. In the end we can almost be sure that this drone will not fall out of the sky. Good job.
Man, that was awesome. I just got as nervous as you were. Great flying though, after watching this I’ve got to get one too. I wasn’t sure but this video sealed the deal.
You sir, have the BEST video/review I have seen. There are others that were at the top of their "drama" class in school as opposed to giving great, accurate information. Thank you very much for sharing your time and knowledge.
Some people watch scary movies because they like to be scared. I seem to watch these range tests because I like to be stressed…but can’t get enough. 😅 Also love seeing the scenery. Thanks Dustin! 👊🏾
great video dustin the i watch yout first video on the 2020 drone and ive been droning for a couple of years ouely amateur and you said turn off the wi fi and bluetooth and i cant believe how quickly drone gets into action thank you again
The best range test as always. Interesting that the reception was so poor on the return. Perhaps range extenders will improve that. Thanks for the great video.
@@DustinDunnill ,wow that is nice to hear cause i am so scared of being caught in the rain when i am far out but yes that is very interesting to know. thanks brother dustin .
Hello idol Dustin 🙋♂️I'm your number 1 fan here in Philippines 😘. Always watching your Drone review☺️. I'm not good in English but I'm trying to tell you that I really love your Drone reviews for almost 1 year watching you
My brother flew 2.7km in our city and returned with this fimi. There were still 40% battery left. The camera isn't as nice as dji Mavic air 2, but it's a good drone for the price
Incredible range result Dustin! Definitely have buyers remorse now with my first version! 😂😂. Beautiful sunset as well👍. Fimi X8 still remains a heck of drone for the price. Can’t wait to see the parabolic and Yagi-Uda range extenders comparison. Online shopping reviews seem to indicate the parabolic extenders still work better than the Yagi-Uda, but it will be very interesting to see what your results show in that great testing environment you’re in👍. Thanks again for the awesome reviews. Cheers Mark.
Lithium polymer batteries can be taken down to absolute minimum voltage of 2.9v per cell. Even though app is screaming back low voltage, they're will be some safety factor built into battery management. All down to the software parameters. The cheaper drones wouldn't have made it back because of tolerance inaccuracies. Another top demo from Dustin.
Great video again man!! Do you think the antenna orientation should be upwards? Most reviewers seem to use it like that but when going through the manual they always show fully extended straight out... So it confused me a little Haven't tested that aspect yet myself
@@DustinDunnill and thanks again dude , everyone gets so much from your videos I've gone from 0% knowledge base to having an understanding from your videos so they are much appreciated!!
well,,,, i was going to buy a mini but this just changed my mind. Not because of the distance but also having the ability to track. And those lights, fantastic. you took a gamble, lol . one question though, no mention of wind so was it a calm day/eve?
Totally insane range test but awesome outcome. I could feel you anxiety from my couch....lol.Hope to be able to purchase this one in the near future. I'll have to share this video . Thanks
Wow that was awesome. Well Done Dustin, I really thought it had stopped out there. Amazing I definitely would love this. Normally they try to land themselves but this doesn't and you can still control it. Yeah that's cool.. Good Job Brother 👊💯
THIS is the way a drone should behave when running low on battery voltage. DJI (Mavic 2 Pro) will sacrifice the entire drone in order to save the battery, and it does that even when the voltage is nowhere near 3.0 volts, the voltage where a LIPO battery starts to sustain permanent damage.
Really enjoy your videos. Nice and relaxing to watch compared to some. I enjoy the range tests. As I'm a complete noobie to drones can you explain about the batteries and voltages please of different kinds of batteries. I heard you mention on a mini 2 video that you pushed your battery to 7 volts. I've no idea what you mean by that and what it does. Thanks
That was definitely a great range test. They really improved it. Im wondering if the parabolics would of helped improve the video on its return home. Excellent test Dustin!!
You know how to push it Dustin. Good review flight. I'm glad to see the Fimi seems to be a good drone. My experience wasn't good. Put the Fimi up one day, lost connection then seconds later the app crashed. I had to completely exit the app and restart it on my Android phone. Unfortunately reconnection was never accomplished. I was able to get GPS coordinates from the flight logs but after a diligent two hours search the drone wasn't located. Because of the app crashing I suspect the coordinates were wrong.
Hey Dustin , how did you make your drone to fly so far away , because mine lose signal and tend to came back home , and one more thing , when I try to make it to go to points it has only 1 km of range and sometimes when it lose the signal tends to came back home
I love these range tests, but how do you get away with the distance in terms of keeping it all kosher. I dont think I could see that drone at 5 miles even with binoculars.
First of all... Thank You for your postings... most helpful..!! I just got my Fimi 2020 and I'm going through the different videos and learning a lot. Since you have shown you ran your Fimi 2020 battery to a shown 0% in this video... does that battery still take a charge... and is it still accepted by your Fimi 2020 drone...?? Ran across some video's that had bad news about battery life after being ran down to below 15%. Just wondering what you had personally experienced with your gear after the above flight...?? Thank you again for your postings.
i have seen some of your videos. your area is nice i wish i could get the type of range u guys are getting . i dnt understand y there is lots of trees in both u guys videos like me but i can only get 3/4 of a mile out .
@@jefferync9885 I got a part of parabolic dishes…. And a set of 2.4 ghz yagi boosters … they both help with improving range but the small dishes work the best … I got them on eBay for like $8 … only need 2 small size ones they are the one that have rubber bands to hold them on … you have to keep pointing your controller at the general direction of your drone to work … you might try that to see if that makes things better for you …
It appears Dji does not send free sample drones to truthful reviewers early. I need to buy the new drones they release. Hopefully will be reviewing soon 🍻
i've seen so many mixed reviews on this particular model...i am on the fence, between this and the Mavic...unless the mavic mini 2 is all i'd hope for with obstacle avoidance and whatnot...great review as always though Dustin, you lucky Hawaiian devil lol
Wow what range!! I forgot about adding this one in the mix as one of the top drones to purchase..I can pick this up cheaper than mavic mini 2 ..worth it? Sure seems like an awesome deal
You've got a great place to test with! I had a similar test. My location dropped out at 20,750ft going out and dropped connection on RTH. It reconnected video right around 13000ft. That long unconnected return makes you nervous.
@@epsonexxon126 It could help, but I think the situation would be the same but with larger numbers...the antenna on the drone likely is boresighted directly down. When you are flying out, the main lobe is pointed toward you, when you return its pointed away...so you will always get better reception flying away at full stick. That's my hypothesis anyways.
I could almost hear your heart drop out onto the park grass when video & telemetry dropped out; was it hovering, was it returning still? I felt your stress. lol

There is never enough money to take care of the family AND do all of our favorite hobbies. When you ASSUME ... You make an ASS out of U and ME 😂
Nice test.
Excellent, that is really good to know that it will not force land in RTH.. You know how all other drones try to land, that is very good.
If you are not the official Fomi tester, you should apply. You have taken an unbelievable risk, I was watching the video and my heart was racing. I congratulate you friend, very good job! A hug from Spain!
I find your Range Test both relaxing and then terrifying at the same time. Love it.
You'r reviews are the most realistic drone reviews on youtube. You're the best! Greetings from Montenegro.🇲🇪
It's like watching a movie - at the beginning it feels calm and relaxed, then the drama happens and it tickles nerves, then the happy ending.👏👏👏
I hope you can reach that ocean one day.
Just ordered mine today! Been eyeballing this thing for months! Great vid brotha!
And, that's why we love Dustin's videos.
Awesome range test once again. Seriously impressed on the range. Can't imagine how nerve-racking not knowing for sure if it was returning home or just hovering on the signal drop out while on its way back.
Hubsan zino 2 plus?.. can u review that drone?
Thanks for the range test. been looking forward to this...
Another range test where you had my blood pressure way up! Glad you were able to bring it home.
wow! i am highly impressed by this range test, so many mixed reviews on this but yours seems to be a great little flyer. great vid
That was awesome RTH was pretty accurate from such a long range, the fact it will go below 0% battery life just give you that extra comfort of getting it home, brilliant 🎮👍👍
Glad to see you back at it man! Love your work!
Good to know this drone won't let you down if you find youself with a low battery.
Maybe a sudden unplanned change of wind direction etc
Brilliant range test Dustin. Oh I was on the edge of my seat lol. What an awesome performer the FIMI X8SE! I'm looking forward to the next test. Thanks and keep well. :)

i love these range flight test, keep up the great content
Looking at the front, they should have called this model, "The Stormtrooper."
I really hope manufacturers start giving you equipment to review.
Dustin: We're gonna take it to 28,000 ft.
Drone: *battery drops to 49%*
Me: Staaahp!
😂
Man, that was awesome. I just got as nervous as you were. Great flying though, after watching this I’ve got to get one too. I wasn’t sure but this video sealed the deal.

Another nutcase range test, thanks for uploading bud.
I bought some parabolic range extenders and it really helped my video transmission and distance with my fimi 2020
Hi Dustin ,have you ever done a distance test and got caught in rain when you were way out there ?
Yes, 2 come to mind. My original X8 cinematic on waihee trail and Mavic Air range test to iao both rains hard and drones were fine 🍻
@@DustinDunnill ,wow that is nice to hear cause i am so scared of being caught in the rain when i am far out but yes that is very interesting to know. thanks brother dustin .
You bet, Just let them dry out in some heat and fan, then put them in a bag with dry rice for a few days to be sure all moisture is dried out 🍻

Nice nail biting flight Dustin. Thanks for sharing.
If Fimi can figure out their gimbal tilt issues this drone will be incredible.
Hi, Any difference on the range between the switch in RC or Wifi? Switch is in the drone.
THIS is the way a drone should behave when running low on battery voltage. DJI (Mavic 2 Pro) will sacrifice the entire drone in order to save the battery, and it does that even when the voltage is nowhere near 3.0 volts, the voltage where a LIPO battery starts to sustain permanent damage.
Agreed 👍
Dustin, I think this drone has auto shut down video camera to reserve battery to return to home. This drone is smart..
Great range test video as always, man!!!
I should buy this drone soon!!
I gotta say I thought this was a pretty good test. Thanks man.

Concrete is not a conductor and not a problem. Maybe it has some rebar in it??
There is always moisture in concrete so it always conducts. But the compass interference could be rebar.
